Patient Services

Community Outreach

St. Francis Hospital is committed to bringing state-of-the-art medical resources to our region. Through our community outreach programs, St. Francis extends its care beyond the walls of the hospital, reaching into the neighborhoods of New Castle County to identify, diagnose and treat underserved populations who have limited or no options for primary healthcare services.

Community Outreach

Center of Hope

This full-service Family Practice Center provides primary healthcare to medically underserved people in the Newark area, with a special focus on the needs of the Latino community. To ensure services are provided in a culturally appropriate environment, a majority of the staff is bilingual and all understand and respect cultural differences. In addition to medical care, the Center combines an intensive patient education program with each visit to help reduce acute illness and promote healthy lifestyles in an at-risk population.

St. Clare Medical Outreach Van

As a full-service doctor's office on wheels, the St. Clare Medical Outreach Van travels the streets of Wilmington delivering medical care to people who are homeless, poor and uninsured. Over the years, more than 80,000 patient visits have been conducted from the Van. Every day, the Van's staff vaccinate children who are uninsured, dispense medications for people with prescriptions they cannot afford to fill, and provide ongoing medications for people with chronic illnesses and acute medical problems.

The Tiny Steps Program

The Tiny Steps Program is giving the smallest, most vulnerable members of our community a fighting chance. In a state with an alarmingly high infant mortality rate, the Tiny Steps Program is fostering healthy pregnancies, healthy babies and healthy families. Operating out of the Family Practice Center at St. Francis Hospital and the Center of Hope in Newark, Tiny Steps offers complete prenatal and maternity care, bilingual health classes, patient/parent education and counseling to all expectant mothers, regardless of their financial circumstances.
